2026 Annual Meeting

This year Virginians are putting #PeopleOverPolitics – including by voting on three ballot amendments to protect our rights no matter WHO is in office. Join ACLU-VA members for our annual meeting to see how YOU helped us protect Virginians’ freedoms this year – and what’s ahead for 2027. Please note: For the most accessible viewing experience, please tune in to the annual meeting from your laptop or desktop, instead of your phone.
